Simplified Meaning:

If you are unsure about doing something, it's better to avoid doing it. Imagine you are shopping for a new phone, and you see one that looks interesting, but you're not sure if it has good reviews or if it's worth the price. Instead of rushing to buy it and possibly regretting your choice, you should wait until you have more information. In your day-to-day life, when you face such uncertain decisions, taking a step back can save you from making mistakes. Whether it's choosing to buy something, deciding on a big move, or responding to a tricky situation, letting your doubts guide you can help you avoid problems later. By waiting until you're confident, you make smarter, more thoughtful choices.
